Pyat makes a political prediction!

I predict John McCain will probably win the election down south, though perhaps by an inconcievably narrow margin. It strikes me that both sides draw support from very stratified classes of voters, and the numbers don't change much. (I ignore, for now, the possibility of coordinated voting fraud, though I do not think it a zany conspiracy theory. That sort of thing happens around the world, all the time.)

That said, choosing Palin as a veep will at least make the shallower sort of Republican happier about voting for McCain, because she's young(ish) and personable, and has never, ever sang "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" to the tune of "Barbara Ann".

Like start a third party?

We have many political parties. It's just that the two in power have no reason to allow them to flourish.

Granted - my comment should be - Vote for one.

Or start one that isn't Libertarian or lame. :)

Like start a third party. Like get rid of all of the redundant laws. Like make it so that states are more in governing themselves than someone in a Place of Power trying to govern fifty very disparate states filled with very different people. Like make people get off of Welfare instead of abusing it. Like taking away our support of third world countries and focusing on our own problems so that no one can say we're "big brothering" it and hate us for constantly getting into other countries issues. Like a half dozen other things I could name off the top that's wrong with this government's set-up, currently.

So, why not vote for a third party?
